RE: method to let user reset their own password

Lim,

The Telnet exit point will work with that one method of access. You
also have to use auto-sign on if I remember correctly. It won't help
with FTP, direct connects to the database, remote commands and so forth.

Have you thought about putting a listener on journal QAUDJRN? The
listener would interrogate T-PW journal entries for sign on failures.
T-PW entries are created no matter where the sign-on fails.

from link below, it seems like I can override user login ID and
password.
I'll have to try that out.

I don't know of any such exit points. The other half of the equation
are probably the "profile handle" APIs.

does anyone know if there is some type of 5250 login exit point where I
can
dynamically change the login ID and password to a generic login ID and
password and login to iseries using this generic ID?

We don't have SSO/EIM setup in our shop. We are currently looking for a
way
to allow user to reset his/her own password without having to involve an
iseries admin. Below is the only idea that comes to mind:
1) Create a login exit point program that will fire of an email to the
user's email address on the last login attempt that caused the profile
to
be
disabled.
2) The email I send to the user will have a very long link that uniquely
identified the iseries user ID. When user accesses the email and clicks
on
the link, it will call a iseries program to reset the password.

Now, the challenge would be how to tie iseries UID to user's email
address.


There is probably a better and more full prove solution out there
already,
so, I thought I ask before reinventing wheel..

thanks
